As this off season’s hot stove continues to simmer, a couple of thoughts began to illuminate what could happen next winter.

Taylor Ward has a surprising car collection. Ward is a left fielder for the Los Angeles Angels. There’s no doubt that the Fresno State baseball standout is one of the more promising players for the Angels. While he isn’t a superstar on the field, Ward will certainly play competitive baseball and keep up with the […]

Let’s go ahead and preface this with the almost certain fact that this trade won’t happen. The Los Angeles Angels despise their crosstown neighbors, the Los Angeles Dodgers. That hatred likely grew even more when former Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani signed a 10-year, $700 million deal with the Dodgers last offseason. If the Halos then […]

An MLB franchise does not languish in irrelevance for a decade without having a slew of organizational problems, but the biggest issue that has faced the Los Angeles Angels in their lengthy run of incompetence is an inability to build a formidable starting pitching rotation.

The Chicago White Sox can breathe. They bought themselves 24 more hours of not having the worst record in modern MLB history. Really, it was the Los Angeles Angels who gifted it. Their partners in misery suffered a 3-2 loss that kept the White Sox from picking up loss no. 121. With a record of […]
